Corsair is supposed to be a reliable brand, and mine has been reliable

Corsair is a great brand and had delivered it to me very fast

Usually Corsair is a very nice and reliable brand, I'm disappointed by this product

After much research I learned that Corsair is the preferred brand of PC builders and the better manufacturers as well

Will only buy my RAM and PSU from Corsair, they are an amazing brand

Corsair has created a real contender, at a very easy value point

This would have been a great value if it hadn't stopped working after just over a year of use

I believe this was by far the best overall value for the price in this wattage range, and Corsair has a pretty strong reputation, as I understand it.

while this isn't the nicest one I have seen, it is definitely at the higher end of budget PSUs and is a great value

These results are a bit better than the Corsair, as expected, but I'm going to have to stick with the Corsair as the best value

It was the right price at the time and had the right features

On top of all this the price is great for such a quality product

You get what you pay for though, and the cheap price is a result of t he fixed ATX cable and the poor efficiency

The great price was also a plus which helped me make this choice

Works fine on my new machine and decent price for modular power supply.

First thing to mention is the quality of the product, it screams high quality everywhere, from the package to the components itself

Good build quality, well packaged, no complaints - working flawlessly as expected from Corsair.

, it's just a poor quality fan - it's a sort of rumbling noise but 'spaced

The power supply appears to be of good quality and works well

Very good build quality, there really is not much to say

The item looks nice and works great, a very reliable product.

I can't recommend this product when you have to constantly return defective units until they send you a functioning one.

i hired a pro to install it and then he told me it didn't even work i do not recommend this product to anyone

i think this comment is enough.(i made paper clip test which is described on official corsair youtube channel for both defected products )

I though you were better than that, but I guess you make cheap products

As with any Corsair product this PSU has an excellent build quality, but this still remains a budget PSU with no extra features or modularity

I think for the price you cant beat this PSU as it has excellent build quality and does an amazing job

Ill be looking for a replacement asap as this is an urgent build.

As my first PC build I was a little worried about buying from a generic or otherwise cheap brand

Comes with clean black cables that make any build look good with

This is a great brand works amazing and easy super fast setup!

It's not modular and it doesn't have quite the electrical stability as the more expensive power supplies, but for about a third of the cost, this VS series does the job and it seems to be working quite well

All I can say it that it is was a damn fortunate that I was working at home at the time or my house may have burned down!!

It works as it should and my mother's PC is working well once again.

I've gtx 660 on board because this power supply and works very well

This is a great power supply for what it is as far as I can tell.

it is a good power supply and all the cables were nicely black sleeved.

I got this to replace a failed power supply, and am exceptionally pleased with it

But anyway.., overall good power supply from what I saw.

Not the cheapest power supply, but considering the price of a new PC, I thought it was worth it.

So the Corsair I received was dead on arrival and must have shorted itself out

And Corsair has the audacity to even SUGGEST through their support ticket process that I pay for shipping to send THEIR mistake back to them for a replacement

Corsair is very popular and a lot of people love their products

Corsair is a good brand (they make some really nice high performance RAM) and they did not cheap on the quality for their PSU's either.

I stand behind my opinion on corsair products and their customer support.

Came with everything I needed for a quick install of a dead PSU

My PSU burned out while playing a game, and this brought it back to life

This semi-modular PSU is excellent for cable management

My system is built for efficiency so the PSU is overkill

I'm amazed that such a compact PSU is so quiet and efficient.

But it was easy to swap with my other psu and there were more than enough cables for me

but the cables that are included are very stiff and rigid and shorter than I'd like

The modular cables make cable management easier in small cases, like the Silverstone SG06.

I have nothing to complain other than hard rigid cables

The flat cables don't work for me as well as individual/sleeved

The main problem is this unit gets really HOT if you dont have a great o good air control inside your

Luckily I did not damage my motherboard and I eventually got all the connectors connected "properly".Also if you need a just one molex connector

The CX500 was everything that I hoped it would be, but I had a slight problem hooking it up to my older Dell Inspiron motherboard; the connector is 4-pin on my

I was unsure of whether I had a bad power supply or a bad motherboard, so I bit the bullet and opened up the

It works as it should and my mother's PC is working well once again.

Works as it should, although the main motherboard power connector doesn't want to stay

I have clicked 5 stars several time but it reverts back to one star

Knocking off one star because the fan doesn't fall to a slow enough speed to be silent when the computer is not under load

I knocked off one star for the following shortcomings:1

It works quietly (I cannot tolerate noise), never glitches; just keeps running

All wired have good length, nice quality, 0 noise, 100% recommended, hopefully my electricity receipt will down since my computers is almost On all day

Very good voltage regulation, well controlled ripple and noise, runs very cool, managed Bronze efficiency in the hot box

Then it started making a buzzing rattling noise randomly

I tried it with a 350 W unit and it worked fine, just more noise because of the smaller fans

Works as it should, although the main motherboard power connector doesn't want to stay

Just be sure to check that this supplies enough power on the 12V rail and overall power to your GPU.

Very nice amperage on the 12V rail and a quality power supply overall

It works as it should and my mother's PC is working well once again.

the Corsair is a 500 Watt power supply and supplies 38 Amps on a single 12v rail.

The main problem is this unit gets really HOT if you dont have a great o good air control inside your

But, the last couple Corsair PSUs that I have owned all have coil whine very bad.

I am using this PSU to power an i7-3770k, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650, and WD 1 TB hard drive.

it also has right angled SATA power connectors which you'll need since the hard drive is mounted sideways in the case.

I maxed-out the ram, added a 1 TB hard drive, higher-end video, and it handles everything that I throw at it.

I have two solid-state hard drives that will work fine, but as soon as I hook up my 2 TB internal hard drive it dies

I have read reviews stating not enough of the right connectors and I have to disagree, there are Sata power connectors for my 3 hard drives and 1 DVD writer (total of 5

I matched this with a FX6300 cpu, sapphire R9 380 video card, 970A-G43 msi mother board, a basic optical drive, 4gbs or ram, western digital 1tb hard-drive, and 3 case fans

this psu specifically shorted out after simply opening the game csgo in a singe gpu system w/ a i3 6100. managed to take out my 120gb ssd and 1 tb wd black hard drive also
